Pricing summary

App Motion was free, with no account and no sign-up: the launch copy promised a hand-picked gallery that was “100% free, no sign up required,” and no paid tier was ever listed. It was funded the way small solo projects usually are — the site carried a Buy Me a Coffee widget rather than a subscription. Because the site is now deleted there is nothing to buy and no plan to compare, so the practical answer is that the cost question is closed. If you are weighing live replacements, the general-purpose libraries tend to run a free browse tier alongside paid individual and team plans, while the animation-focused feeds have stayed free to read. Confirm the current position on each official site before you commit a team to one.

Reviewed on 19 September 2026 · App Motion — Wayback capture of the free gallery

• A hand-picked gallery, not a scraped dump

  The premise was curation: a human picked the motion clips worth studying, rather than indexing every screen from every app. The tagline was “Explore the best, hand-picked app motion design.”

• Organised by motion type, not by screen

  That is what separated it from screen libraries. Clips were filed under interaction tags including Checkbox, Pinch, Spin, Opening, Delete, Sign Up, Morph, Selection, Illustration, and FAB, with a “View all” path into the full set.

• Clips from apps you actually use

  The capture shows entries for Dot, Asana, 222, and Lapse, and third-party write-ups name Atomic Habits, Twodos, Arc, and Wise — real shipped products rather than concept work.

• Motion clips, not stills

  The gallery was built around animated GIF captures, so you could judge timing, easing, and feel rather than inferring them from a screenshot.

• Browse by app and by motion

  An “Explore Apps” path let you start from a product you admired, while the tag list let you start from the interaction you needed to design.

• Search and load more

  The header carried a search control and the grid paginated with “Load More,” so the collection was larger than the first screen suggested.

• Open contributions

  A “Submit” link invited designers to send their own motion work in, so the gallery was partly community-fed rather than exclusively curated by the operator.

• No account, no paywall

  There was no sign-up gate to get past — the clips were the product, and browsing required nothing but a browser.

1. 1

   Start with the archived capture, not the domain

   appmotion.design now answers with a Framer “Site Not Found” page, so going there directly gets you nothing. The Wayback link in the citations above is the remaining way to see what the gallery held.

2. 2

   Expect the archive to be incomplete

   The capture preserves the page structure and the tag taxonomy but does not replay the motion clips reliably, because the gallery depended on assets the archive could not fully replay. Use it for the taxonomy and the app list rather than the animations.

3. 3

   Borrow the taxonomy when scoping work

   The interaction tags are still useful as a checklist: if you are specifying an onboarding flow or a delete interaction, that list is a reasonable index of the moments worth designing.

4. 4

   Move to a live library for actual references

   When you need something you can put in front of a team this week, use a library that is still publishing. That is the honest trade for a gallery that has closed.

5. 5

   Build the motion on Uwarp

   Once you know the timing and intent you want, Motionity or Animista let you prototype the animation itself rather than only citing it.

• Product designers

  Motion is the part of a spec that is hardest to describe in words. A clip library gave designers something concrete to point at before writing an interaction spec.

• Interaction and motion designers

  Studying how shipped apps handled a pinch, a morph, or a delete gesture beat reverse-engineering the same behaviour from an App Store preview video.

• Product managers signing off on feel

  A short clip settles “what should this feel like” in a review far faster than a written description of easing and duration.

• Anyone auditing old motion work now

  Because the site is gone, the archived capture is mainly useful as a record — for people tracing where a pattern came from or documenting the state of motion-inspiration tooling.

The site is deleted, not merely down

As of this review, appmotion.design returns HTTP 404 with the response header server: Framer and the body “Site Not Found — There is no site configured at this address.” The DNS records still resolve and the host still terminates TLS, which is why the domain looks alive in a browser bar while serving nothing. This is an unpublished site, not an outage or a hosting bill.

It was a Framer site

The Framer response header and the surviving page structure confirm the gallery was built and hosted on Framer rather than on a custom stack. That matters for recovery: the site could return if its owner republishes the project, but a deleted project is not something visitors can restore.

Launched in October 2023

The Product Hunt listing dates the launch to 11 October 2023, where it reached #21 for the day and later drew a 4.3 out of 5 rating from three reviews with roughly 290 followers. The maker explained he built it because he wanted app inspiration focused specifically on motion and could not find a dedicated source.

Last archived while fully live

The Wayback capture linked in the citations is dated 29 December 2024 and shows the gallery with its navigation, tag filters, app entries, and Load More control intact — the most recent reliable record of the product in working order.

Free and donation-funded

The site loaded a Buy Me a Coffee widget rather than any pricing page, consistent with the launch promise of a free gallery with no sign-up. There was no account system, so there are no user libraries to export and no subscriptions left to cancel.

What replaced it for search traffic

With the official site gone, the brand term is now held by third parties: the Product Hunt launch page ranks first, followed by directory listings and review aggregators. No live official page currently answers the query, which is the gap this overview fills.

Reuse rights

The gallery showed motion captured from other companies’ shipped apps. Treat any clip you saw there as a visual reference for study rather than an asset to republish — the rights sit with the apps and designers it was captured from, and the site’s own terms are no longer reachable.

Publisher

App Motion was published independently under its own name rather than by a company, and the Product Hunt launch lists a single maker. There is no support channel or roadmap left to contact.
